## Abstract According to the Mason‐Latham mechanism the main thunderstorm charge is generated by the impaction, freezing and splintering of supercooled droplets on pellets of soft hail. The rates of charge and splinter production are now calculated using the Ludlam‐Browning model of the thunderstor

## Abstract In an attempt to explain the excess concentration of ice crystals over ice nuclei in some maritime cumulus clouds, laboratory experiments were carried out to determine whether sub‐micron ice particles are produced when water droplets freeze in free fall or on riming. The results show th

## Abstract It is shown that ice‐crystal concentrations of order 10/litre may be produced in clouds limited to the −8°C level if growing pellets of soft hail release splinters at the rates recently observed in laboratory experiments by Hallett and Mossop (1974) and provided that these splinters can
